I am looking to trade a Duncan '59 humbucker and someone locally had what he said is a "Gibson Classic". I'm wondering if this is the '57 Classic or if it could be something else. Anyone know? Thanks

I am seeking some input about hanging my guitars on the wall. I searched the forum and read the thread about guitar hangers. My concerns relate to temperature and (lack of) humidity. I'm in CT, so it can get quite cold here. I would use the wall mounts designed for this purpose and would mount...

I decided to replace the lame plastic nut on my new $29 Fullerton ST-3 strat style guitar. Guitar Center sold me a pre-slotted graphite (All Parts) strat nut. I was able to remove the stock nut, although a small chunk of rosewood came off in front of the nut (ie, closer to the headstock). I...

I figured I'd post this to get some feedback. I recorded 2 guitar tracks over the backing track that I'd downloaded. It's Key to the Highway. Thanks... http://www.purevolume.com/pickngrin

I have an Alesis SR-16 that I bought years ago, and I've typically just practiced with the preset rhythms (which are pretty lousy overall). I've never felt like I had the hang of programming it, and didn't try hard. Well, I just came across this review of the SR-16 on Harmony Central, and the...

I was a little trigger happy at the end of an ebay auction for an SH-1, and didn't realize that it was a neck, not the bridge I needed, until after I bid. Being the respectable ebayer I am, I honored my bid ;-) Anyhow, I understand that in general, bridge versions of a pickup have a hotter...

I won a '59 (non-logo) neck humbucker on ebay. In my haste to bid at the end of the auction, I didn't realize it was a neck...I need a bridge. Does anyone have a bridge '59 they would want to trade? Thanks

I have Groove Agent 2 and the best that I've been able to do is hit 'run' and play along with it. While I can hear the audio through my PC speakers, I can't get my sound card (e-mu 0404) to record the Groove Agent audio. That said, I can't figure out how to configure the MIDI to work with...

I've got a used JBJ in my Hamer and it's a bit too trebly for my taste. I don't recall how much lead is left (I would check before proceeding). It is black and does not have the Seymour Duncan name on the top. I think I'd like a '59(b) or a SH-14 Custom 5, but if you have something else...

I've got one of the Korean Hamers (SATF), to which I added Sperzel tuners. I find that the tuning does not hold very well, despite the locking tuners. The treble strings seem to be less stable. I don't think that there are any structural defects in the guitar. Might this be a problem that a...

This is my first attempt at posting any clip of my playing. Aside from the fact that my playing sucks, does anyone have any comments or suggestions? I was playing around with Sonar SE (came bundled with my EMU card) around a simple 2 chord vamp. I am pretty much clueless as far as mixing, and...

I have an old Ibanez TS-10... a couple of years ago I performed the TS-808 mods (documented online)... I hadn't been playing much and when using the pedal now, I realize that it causes a tremendous volume drop (whether engaged or disengaged)... my Strat actually sounds better plugged directly...

I am amazed at the quality of some clips posted here... and at the same time frustrated with myself when I try to come up with something on my own. I recently bought an EMU card, which I feel like I haven't made good use of yet. I've got a bass, a few guitars, and an Alesis SR-16 drum...

Does anyone know of a mod to convert my Crybaby wah to a wah and volume pedal (ie, with a switch to select wah or volume)? Also, since a few days ago, each time I log in, all forums show as "private" and I can't post or view messages... I had to create a new account (regular username is...
